President Paudel Wishes Success to Nepali Media

Kathmandu. President Ram Chandra Paudel has wished that the Nepali media world always achieves success in fearlessly activating for the full use and protection of constitutionally granted rights and in conveying true information to the general public.

On the occasion of World Press Freedom Day (May 3), 2026, extending best wishes to all journalists, Nepali sisters and brothers at home and abroad, President Paudel said, "Special attention must be paid to establish correct and true things in society by investigating truth and conveying facts through independent journalism."

President Paudel mentioned that the role of the press has been important in various movements for democracy as press freedom is the pillar of democracy. He stated that press freedom is equally important for the implementation of the constitutional right of citizens to be informed, and the more impartial, free, and strong the press is, the more robust the democratic system will become.

The President's best wishes message states, "A safe environment must be created for journalists to carry out communication work by ensuring press freedom; our constitution guarantees full press and freedom of expression. It is necessary for all classes and communities to voice their opinions by being freely and unhinderedly involved in the process from information collection to dissemination."

Mentioning that there is a challenge before us from the increasing use of social media and the false and misleading information that can be disseminated through it, which can mislead citizens and weaken the existing system, President Paudel wished that this day would give further energy, courage, and inspiration to the Nepali press world to face such challenges and provide true, factual, and reliable information to the public.
